He was just the second player to achieve multiple victories in the event after New Zealander Grant Waite when successful in 1997-98.

There has been only one player to achieve the feat since - South Australian Anthony Murdaca.

The promising Grange 17-year old fired 16-under par at Pinjarra Golf Club this month to claim the tournament by three strokes and add the crown to his 2010 triumph.

"I feel privileged to be in that company, especially as Scott is the first Aussie to win the Masters" Murdaca said.

"Having my name on the trophy twice, as he does, is inspiring. His Masters win is also inspiring as it shows what can be done and it makes you feel like anything is possible.

"The whole week in Perth was awesome.

"I've been working hard on my swing and everything has slowly been coming together."

Murdaca has already built an impressive resume. Apart from dual success in the national boys' event, there are also wins in the Greg Norman Junior Masters, SA junior masters and SA junior championship alongside his name.

Despite those victories, Murdaca believes his game is just starting to come together.

He has been seeking guidance from coach Gareth Jones for the past four years.

Two years ago they decided to revamp his swing and it was only in the past couple of months that he felt "everything" was falling into place.

The new swing means he has swapped a draw for a fade and gained more accuracy.

"I've been slowing chipping away and it has slowly come together," Murdaca said.

"The swing changes were more to do with injury protection and fixing my swing for the long term.

"With this swing I can be more repetitive - not getting it too quick or going back to old habits. I've also been doing more gym work and I feel a lot stronger through the set-up."

It will be at least three years before Murdaca joins his favourite player, Scott, on the professional golf stage.

This year he must combine his golf career with Year 12 studies at St Michael's College.

"I want to continue playing amateur events and get some big wins under my belt before I think about turning professional," Murdaca said.

"I've got to start winning events like the Riversdale or Lake Macquarie.

"I need to work on everything and get it all up to scratch as well as develop consistency."
